About

The Delves is a neighbourhood in Walsall, West Midlands, centred on Delves Road and the streets around it. It is primarily residential, with a mix of private houses and former council properties, and a modest parade of local shops and services along the main road. Schools, a community centre and places of worship serve local needs, and regular bus services link the area with Walsall town centre and regional routes. Small light-industrial units sit alongside housing, reflecting the area's role in everyday local trade and repair services.

Green spaces and recreation grounds are woven into the street pattern, offering places for leisure close to home. Several streets contain housing that dates from the town’s industrial expansion in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a reminder of Walsall’s metalworking and leather trades. Community groups run activities from local halls and the shopfronts on Delves Road provide day-to-day essentials, giving the area a practical, neighbourhood-centred character within the Walsall borough.
